Commercial Litigation for Complex Business Disputes
Our Firm is built on business trial lawyers. We believe learning the facts, considering strategic advocacy, bringing tenacity to the courtroom, and having practical business insight is what makes a trial team successful. We represent middle-market businesses and established corporations in high-stakes disputes, and they tend to agree our approach brings them success.
We also believe lawyers only learn how to try cases from trying cases. Our trial experience is unique in this respect—we bring real trial results and a sophisticated understanding of commercial law to meet each client’s unique needs.
Stinar Lannen represents businesses, executives, and investors, in high-stakes commercial litigation throughout the United States. We are not merely transactional lawyers who occasionally step into a courtroom—we are seasoned trial attorneys who relish the opportunity to try cases to verdict. Our commercial litigation practice is built for the most consequential disputes: bet-the-company litigation, fiduciary breach claims, fraud actions, and complex contractual disputes involving hundreds of millions of dollars.
We represent clients across industries—including publicly traded corporations, private equity-backed enterprises, family offices, and Fortune 500 companies—against some of the largest and most well-resourced law firms in the nation. Our track record speaks for itself: we have prevailed in matters where the stakes demanded nothing less than courtroom excellence, and our adversaries have learned that Stinar Lannen litigates to win.
